My Simplicity 7112 engine has passed on. I'm looking at replacing with a Predator 8 or 13 HP engine. Wondering how many foot pounds of torque the Kohler 12 HP cast iron engine serial number 10182359 had. It will only be used for mowing. Any help is appreciated.

When I looked before it's always had to find numbers on these. There are a few charts that were probably from a Kohler sales brochure floating around. This is the best one I can find quickly: https://www.ihcubcadet.com/attachments/264487-jpg.84721/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ihcubcadet.com/attachments/264487-jpg.84721/ Some discussion on it here: https://www.ihcubcadet.com/threads/archive-through-november-06-2013.4620/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ihcubcadet.com/threads/archive-through-november-06-2013.4620/ Looks like around 22 ft-lbs for a K301? ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

HP = TORQUE x RPM / 5252 TORQUE = HP x 5252 / RPM Torque = 12 x 5252 / 3000 = 21 Ft pounds. it all depends on what the RPM rated is for TORQUE.. May not be the same RPM as max HP. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

if it burned as much oil as the one in my LGT125 did, probably not even close to 21 ftpds.....  I replaced a 12HP Tecumseh (Sear St12) with a 9HP 'off shore Honda clone', and it has tons of power. Check shaft sizes ! somehwere in the HP range they change from 7/8 to 1". most snowblow engines are 7/8"...arrrgh....------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Had a Kohler K341 - 16 HP on my New Holland S16 - replaced it with a Tecumseh 16 Hp which seemed to have more torque - ran that for about 8 years until it seized - Replaced it with a 18 HP Honda engine and still runs good . The Predator engine is the Chinese knock off of Honda - but seem good as put a 6 HP on my tiller and has worked fine . On compactor replaced the Wisconsin Robbin engine with a Tecumseh but went through 2 engines as would not stand up to vibrations - Went with a Honda and it has run for over 6 years of use with no problems ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
